User Testimonials
	ThingWorx	Varuna
Likelihood to Recommend	PTC It is well suited for situations where you require an end-to-end platform for pushing code and managing data and security of the IoT application. However, it is not well suited for the case when you want to scale the app up to many users and this requires more from the part of the product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Varuna It analyses in a great way to collect and display operational and of course relevant business data allowing users to predict a large number of issues, especially quality ones. Reports can be generated just after a few clicks. Machine learning capabilities bring some additional benefits of efficiency and help to the end-users.

Pros	PTC Asset Monitoring - quick and easy to deploy, can connect to the plant floor and get real-time data from devices. Analytics - The TWX Analytics extension has a variety of analyses that can be done into any data source input into TWX. Alerts notification - you can program alerts to be sent via email/SMS seamlessly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Varuna No answers on this topic
Cons	PTC Advanced functionality in control and data visualization often requires additional coding from the user. Support and tutorials provided are often lacking in detail or are not readily transferable. Mashup development works poorly on small monitors or laptops.
